Sorry, but this is wrong.

It isn't like they are super 5 star athletes like Semi that are no-brainer starters at any program in the country except Duke.


Sorry, but this is absolutely, factually, completely, entirely, 110% wrong. It's just not true whatsoever.

Why do you say that is wrong? You are saying that these guys are willing to come in and be in the same position that they are transferring away from - coming off the bench without a guaranteed starting spot? I find that hard to believe... especially when our coach is stating that he wants to stick with a 7 or 8 player rotation at most.

JasonB, it's a FACT - both wanted to come here and Jank said no. Kaden was willing to pay his own way for the Spring. Jank said no. It's a fact. Sorry.

At this point it is bigger than Archie. No need in arguing about that.

Nothing to argue - all facts. There is zero reason at this point to keep the guy. He clearly quit on his team today (watch him on the bench in the 2nd half, didn't even bother to stand up most of the time); he has a litany of excuses in every press conference; he doesn't engage the fans, alumni or community AT ALL; and worst of all he won't recruit guys ranked higher than 400.

Maybe he's trying to get fired?

Jank said no to Archie because Hunt doesn’t like him... showing Hunt respect and consideration for coming to SMU when Archie went to the frogs

RI - Not disputing what you said, but do you have any facts to back up your - "It's a fact."

1) How do you know they wanted to come here? I have heard that Kaden's mother wanted him
to come to SMU but I've never heard him say that.

2) How do you know that Jank said "No" to their interest in our program.

3) As I have posted before- I know that in his initial recruitment that Liddell was interested in
SMU but then he went to Texas. As far as I know he is still at Texas and I haven't seen any
statements that say he is interested in transferring to SMU. Have you seen or heard any
statement to that effect?

I can appreciate what JasonB has said before - that neither of them would want to come to
SMU to sit on the bench because that is why they are wanting to leave their current schools.
I think they want to be promised that they can start at SMU. I don't know what Jank's position on this might be, but we certainly could use an upgrade.

At this point, you would think we would take either one if they had an interest or both if they
wanted to come.

@The Falcon It's been published elsewhere (94 gave a hint). And there are other sources.
